been working on memoir
novel in decent if i die tomorrow shape
need to clean up memoir,
basically done but then im researching this book on aging well
im doing with douthet and ima add a section about being
a hoodoo elder, this me trying too figure out parametera,
raw text always a series of questions 1st
-----------------
IMA HOODOO ELDER NOW
been trying to figure out what that mean,
just what is elder wisdom
just what is the adventure of eldership
mean coming to a certain peace with my life
a lot of it has come into focus writing this work
I need to address unsettled relationships in my
life, mercy and forgiveness for all, including me
I want to be a resource of elder wisdom and guidance
for all within the scope of my radiance, for my loved ones, my
community, all humanity and all god creature great and small
and I believe it mean getting off the grindstone
still got works I want to do but I am not as driven
need to move from driven to some sense of grace
productive grace
more being, less doing, being cool w/just being
facilitate movement from physical to spiritual plane
reinstitute meditational practice, sanctify my life
move into alignment with the dance of the stars
in preparation for my return to the all, calm myself
make peace with my regrets / life choices
accept physical decline for spiritual grace
make peace with myself, reach for serenity

woke up this morning with the blues
and im still trying to get into this book
and not succeeding, physical issues
and a good friend just sold her novel
good for her, must feel good, must
i got the blues, im tired and im weary
i might take the day off
PS: dec 13, 2020 7:54 am
fuck a day off, best cure for the blues
is to get some work done, keep trying
to bust the move on life as pilgrimage
PPS: dec 13, 2020 8:16 am
okay i had me a littlle groove going but
as i broke thru i realized this is not what
i should be doing, end of the year project
its got to be the novel, what was i thinking
thats why i couldnt get a groove on . . .

thing to do rick is just start it now
just start it, the muscles willl loosen up
do not wait x days, you can rest
after youve gotten a groove
took a nap, im rested, start now . . .
1st step redo outline to reflect new theme
keep 52 week year in life structure
cause i dont feel like reinventing the wheel
change what you need to change, like moving
PILGRIMAGE from #34 to #1 and just start
riffring, been fiddling with new outline
finalize right now and begin new text
correlating that year in the life
with life as pilgrimage
mostly this phase will be questions generating questions like
what exactly do i mean by life as pilgrimage
what is point of pilgrimage
to get some spiritual benefit
pesronal motivation vs cultural motivations
what exactly is the benefit (a spirituall state of mind?)
how does the journey work
in life and in your daily grind
diff between physical and spiritual pilgrimages
and so forth unto infinity . . .
answering these will get me started
every answer generates more questions
the driving question of moment is what
is the benefit of living well, of living
your life as if it were a pilgrimage
pilgrimage to where, a finely crafted soul
what is the advantage of having a finely crafted
soul as a life goal, how does it affect your daily
grind
okay soulwork is my answer
living a life of the spirit
pilgrimage reaffirms that commitment
to the spiritual in your life
then I got to convince reader
this is critical to living life well
okay thats my answer but how to make
it work for civilians is the question
okay im already engaged, might as
well do this on the page, i gotta roll

helloo world, been off the grid i guess
been trey productive
done reformatting of novel
and memoir, memnoir only 220 pages now
from 1000+ to 500 to 220
reformatteed novel into griotic poetry
both looking good
both in need of work
sent tried piece to WAPO, we will see
putting team together to do it as performance
have not worked it online since i realized it was a
contender - playing off classic prophetic warning motif
allowing me to do my hoodoo prophecy thing realworld
im very pleased with myself
so now im just trying to determine which project
to close out year, been trying to do my
life as pilgrimage project
been spinning my wheels trying to dig in
but thats the one thats weakest now
the criteria these days is if i die
tomorrow can i live with this
the novel and the memoir, they okay
the work on living well is not
HBOF, thats a book for hoodoos of
the future who want to walk my path
thats a limited demographic
healing souls, rootworking cultures, shaping generations &
destinywork is not exactly pertinent to folks daily grind
LAP, this one is for regular folk, makes my
cosmology accessible to civilians, my
bid to be one of historys great teachers
i guess ive answered my questions
LAP needs to be taken to the next level rick
take a few more days off and get busy
aint bout what you want to do
its what you got to do
